Unbound: A Tale of Love and Worlds Beyond

By Todd Daugherty

In a world where despair is a frequency and escape is a myth, one boy finds a doorway to everything he was never allowed to be.

Michael lives in the basement of a dying city, forgotten by his family and erased by the gray world around him. But when a mysterious VR headset arrives-unmarked, untraceable, and impossibly advanced-he discovers a luminous Paris where airships drift through cobalt skies and love feels real.

There, he meets lodie, a girl who sees him for the first time. And in the shadows of the city's monolithic core, he encounters the Yellow Queen-a being who offers him a choice: sever the tether to his broken life, or remain a ghost in both worlds.

Unbound is a haunting, romantic sci-fi novelette about love, identity, and the cost of freedom. For fans of Black Mirror, Station Eleven, and mythic speculative fiction, this is a tale of escape, transformation, and the quiet war between light and gravity.
